title: [Lingual chondroma].
abstract: In this article we report a case of chondroma which occurred in the lateral margin of the tongue of a 61-year-old male, briefly describing its clinical and pathologic features--including immunohistochemical findings--and reviewing the literature. There are only about twenty-five reported cases of this rare tumor in the literature, and the vast majority of them appeared in younger patients.
